A funny habit from polish language - every object has a gender. Hat is feminine, book is feminine, car is masculine. In case of names „a” in the name end makes it feminine, making Terra and Astra female and all the other models male.

We have also gender neutral words (child, butter, ending with „o” in polish).

And you cannot really talk about anything without revealing its gender because all the adjectives and verbs are gendered. Using a gender neutral form for Astra or Opus would be very weird.

Out of all the project names „Claude” is the only project that you can kind of use any gender form with.

And our grammar has no distinction between animate vs inanimate. If I talk about agents in polish there is no difference in grammar between a human agent or a machine agent.

I wonder how it will affect a perception of ai long term. Also adoption is a bit easier - I can talk about my agent/assistant and not reveal my opinion about it being a machine or whether or not I personify it (which I don’t).

As a sidenote, people do not need to announce their pronouns here. The pronouns are usually obvious after the first sentence they speak usually. And gender neutral communication is very difficult unless you use plural.
